The second annual preseason "Drop The Puck
Night" highlighting the 2009-10 seasons for both the Ferris
State University men's ice hockey and Big Rapids High School
hockey teams will be held Friday, Oct. 2, from 6-8 p.m. (EDT) at
the Falcon Head Golf Course in Big Rapids,
Mich.

The event is being presented by the FSU Blueline Club and
sponsored by Independent Bank of Big Rapids. Admission is $15
for adults and $8 for children ages 12 and under which includes
dinner and beverage.

The "Drop The Puck" Night will feature upcoming season previews
from Bulldog hockey head coach Bob Daniels and Big
Rapids High School varsity hockey head coach Tim
Blashill. Selected student-athletes on the 2009-10
Bulldog hockey team will also speak and provide their
insight for the 2009-10 campaign. Nick
Scheible, a Ferris State and Big Rapids High hockey
alumnus, will return for the second year to serve as the master of
ceremonies.

"I would like to invite all Bulldog and Cardinal hockey fans to
attend," said Daniels. "This fun-filled event provides a
special opportunity to reach out to more hockey fans in the
surrounding areas while also giving hockey fans a chance to
interact with one another and our student-athletes."

Tickets for the event may be purchased at the FSU Athletics
Ticket Office, which is located in the lobby arena of the Ewigleben
Ice Arena, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (EDT).
For those fans wishing to attend who live outside the Big Rapids,
please reserve your seat by calling (231) 591-2888 and asking for
Hailey Patterson. Tickets then can
be paid for and picked up at the door on the evening of the event
but the preference is to purchase your tickets in advance to help
ensure accurate attendance count.

Ferris State will open its 32nd season of intercollegiate
competition at the NCAA Division I level Sunday, Oct. 4, with an
exhibition contest versus Wilfred Laurier (Ontario) in Big
Rapids. A 2:05 p.m. (EDT) start is slated for the encounter
at FSU's Ewigleben Ice Arena. The 2009-10 season officially
